[Closed] Is this racist ?

Maybe it was the callback from the Nagasaki Testicular Centre of Excellence?

I wonder what he ended up having for his diner ??

And whether he told his wife ... "You know when you rang me earlier? I had the biggest ballcock you've every seen, in the palm of my hand... Past the gravy pet"

surprised you found it strange being a londoner, its pretty much an everyday occurrence here, in fact its more of a shock to hear people conversing in English on the Tube!

When I got into the consulting room, the doc asked me to take my trousers down and lie on the couch thing. Just as he placed his hand on my enlarged ball his mobile rang. With his free hand he answered it and had a conversation that wasn't in English. I was a bit put out. Might I be a racist?

Imagine the same situation except that now you're a cowboy in a Wild West town and the Dr is conversing with an unseen speaker in fluid Creole language via a tin can attached to a string, all the while looking you in the eye as he inspects the swollen article.

Will you pay the doctor in nuggets, coin, favour or bullets?

Haven't read all the thread, so apologies if this question has been asked already. But does the question refer to the ladies or to the OPs reaction?

Either way not a black or white issue - oops

I'd be put out he answered the phone whilst examining me, tbh.

Well on the one hand...

[Ah do it yourselves.]

[quote=Edukator ]I've been slagged off on this forum for posting links to French and German sites, even though an automatic translation is two clicks away.
I don't mind what people speak among themselves, unless they've assumed I don't understand and are saying things they wouldn't if they knew I understood.

I'll just point out that I welcome such links - and try not to use automatic translation on them (often it seems to miss important bits, and certainly doesn't give a good feel for the tone).

Personally I actually welcome people speaking non native languages - I reckon it makes for a more interesting world rather than a monocultural one. Is it rude to eavesdrop on conversations being had which people assume others won't understand? I'm not sure I ever did reveal to the German mum who took her little girl to the same playgroup I took my son to that I have fairly reasonable German.

Oh and since I'm resurrecting this having just found it, earlier in the thread there was the suggestion that at work everybody should use the native language of the country they're in. Does that include for example engineering firms in Germany?

I had a similarly unsettling incident I would like to report. Today I walked past a couple in the street and they were deliberately speaking a foreign language, near me!

Which emergency service should I call?

It's rude, no matter where they're from.
I wouldn't go through a checkout talking to someone else on the phone, because that is also rude.
It is courteous to give your attention to the person you are dealing with.

Had anyone called xenophobia?

No, what's his number? I'll call him now.

Is this a Westworld spoiler?

I don't know what it was, but it was in my view the best response to this whole sorry thread. Yee hah. Ride 'em out!

I couldnt give a crap. My wife uses her language around her friends all the time because there are words and meanings that dont really exist in English....and my brothers wife converses with her daughter in her language in public...to make sure she grows up bilingual.
